Description

Espiritu de Tequila (ET) is the ideal alpaca in so many ways. He is perfectly put together from head to toe: perfect proportions, perfect bite and jaw with nice square nose, straight legs with heavy bone, and then you get to his fleece. Wow, the density! On top of that is excellent shoulder to hip to belly uniformity with a well-defined crimp style and fantastic fineness. ET's first histogram: AFD 14.5 microns. His second fleece: AFD 18.3 microns, SD 4.0 with only 1.1% >30. Did I mention the density? His fleece makes my heart skip a beat. It is highly valued for processing every year given the weight, grade, and especially the length. And by the way, the gorgeous crimp goes all the way down his legs and belly.

ET is producing both white and color. He is passing a lovely conformation and impressive fleece characteristics.

His dam, Sweet Pines Baja, has proven to be an extremely valuable producer. She is consistently producing stud-quality boys. Her show career brought a blue ribbon in halter and reserve champion in fleece. Her elite Peruvian genetics include PPeruvian Victor, PPPeruvian Augusto, and PPPeruvian El Moustachio.

ET's sire, MSA Peruvian Tequila Sunrise, also had a highly successful show career in his youth. Tequila Sunrise is the son of MSA Hemingway's Tequila and grandson of PPeruvian Hemingway and PCA Accoyo El Nino. Also included in those elite Peruvian bloodlines are PPeruvian Caligula and PPeruvian Vengador. Tequila Sunrise had a first fleece AFD of 12.9 microns! And his descendants are winning top awards including Championships in the show ring.
